Edizioni ETS, 2014

This volume collects the Proceedings of the ANDA Conference held at the University of Pisa in November 2012. The aim of the essays is not only to focus on various types of diversity from social, racial, physical, mental, and sexual difference to the radical diversity characterizing human relations within the cultural frames of colonialism and post-colonialism but also to draw a nonlinear network of diversity, to explore the concepts in a broader, dialogical dimension, so as to throw light on the interdependence of categories and on the connections between them. The volume contains essays by: Raffaella Antinucci, Debora Biancheri, Nicoletta Brazzelli, Lisanna Calvi, Paolo Caponi, Fausto Ciompi, Carla Comellini, Manuela DAmore, Irene De Angelis, Annalisa Federici, Ester Gendusa, Maria Grazia Nicolosi, Lucia Nigri, Enrico Reggiani, Luigi Sampietro, Eleonora Sasso, Viktoria Tchernichova and Nicoletta Vallorani. BIANCAMARIA RIZZARDI is Full Professor of English Literature at the University of Pisa. She is the Head of the Post-graduate course in Translation of Postcolonial Texts.

COSTANZA FUSINI holds a Bachelor degree in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation at La Sapienza University of Rome.
